It all began in the late aughts when Jeremy Bloom founded Balkan-style teen band Group Pubeski. After a detour into competitive whistling (which got him on America's Got Talent), a now grown-up Jeremy and friends unleashed the riotous Tipsy Oxcart.

By the way, I watched an episode of Portlandia that's from this year and they had a shot of two of the cast speaking into WFMU microphones. There was a WFMU banner up on the wall behind them, so I'm guessing it was from one of the live broadcasts somewhere.

Yep, heard about the Portlandia episode though I haven't seen it yet myself. Word on the street is that Tom S. from the Best Show on WFMU had something do with it - !

Ohh interesting fills and harmony make this stand out from doo wop which uses the same intro bass line. :). Haha I much prefer this!!!

Pete from Boston (and NJ):
The Tipsy Oxcart fellow said this is a song popular in various places. I'm curious how much of this is contemporary versus strictly more traditional music.

Pete - I can ask the question but they did say they're playing mostly traditional songs, however the songs change from place to place and musician to musician, might just have been played by a solo fiddler in the old days, etc.

Rob W:
Pete - I should say, some of the songs could be fairly modern, some more traditional - I'll ask about that. Thanks!

Please thank the band member who made the movie reference. Found a copy online in 12 seconds. Actual title is "Chia e tazi pesen?" or "Whose is this song?: directed by Adela Peeva and released in Bulgaria in 2003. Copy I found is hardcoded with english subtitles.
Cheers!
